ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: June 2, 2015 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. 6-j <br />1 <br />SUBJECT: Approval to Extend the Central Orange Fire Insurance District Boundary from <br />the Cane Creek Fire Insurance District <br />DEPARTMENT: Emergency Services <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />Central Orange Fire Insurance District <br />Map <br />Map of Proposed Property Transfer from <br />Cane Creek Fire Insurance District <br />PUBLIC HEARING: (Y /N) No <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Jason Shepherd, 919 - 245 -6151 <br />PURPOSE: To approve the updated Central Orange Fire Insurance District map which has <br />been expanded to include properties from the Cane Creek Fire District that are not currently in <br />the rated insurance district. <br />BACKGROUND: This is the same concept used in the past by other county fire departments to <br />address the insurance concerns for property owners. <br />Certain properties in the central area of the Cane Creek Fire Insurance District are located <br />greater than six miles from Orange Grove Fire Station 1 located at 6800 Orange Grove Road. <br />As a result, those properties are not in the Central Orange Fire Insurance District and are rated <br />as a protection class 10. Orange Rural Fire Station 1 is located at 206 South Churton Street in <br />the Central Orange Fire Insurance District and serves an area which is adjacent to the Cane <br />Creek Fire Insurance District. <br />The Fire Marshal's Office has worked with representatives from the Orange Grove Fire <br />Department and the Orange Rural Fire Department to identify the areas not in the rated Cane <br />Creek Fire Insurance District. Fire Marshal Staff has also worked with Orange County <br />Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to identify those parcels in the Orange Grove Fire <br />District that are not in the Cane Creek Fire Insurance District. <br />Staff proposes to move these parcels into the Central Orange Fire Insurance District which will <br />allow eight (8) property owners to be included in a rated insurance district and be eligible for <br />insurance premiums. GIS staff has completed a revised map of the Cane Creek Fire Insurance <br />District showing those parcels now being added to the Central Orange Fire Insurance District. <br />
